Al Masdar of course takes a jaundiced view, and therefore does not inform us whether the fishermen were smuggling for Houthis, or the Saudi pilot was indulging in a bit of unjustified target practice.
[AlMasdar] The Saudi Coalition carried out a new bombing in western Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic...
on Wednesday, striking a fishing boat off the coast of Hodeidah city.

According to local observers, the Saudi Coalition bombed the fishing boat on Wednesday morning, resulting in the death of over ten fishermen.

Another five were maimed and at least eight others were reported missing by the local rescue crews.

The attack by the Saudi Coalition comes just a month after a ceasefire was established by the United Nations
...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks...
to end the hostilities plaguing this coastal city.
